This month, Tsatsu Tsikata, one of Ghana’s most distinguished legal minds, will celebrate 50 years since he was called to the Ghana Bar, a milestone that has garnered praise from the academic, corporate, governance, and legal worlds.
Colleagues, past students, friends, and associates from Ghana and elsewhere are expected to share their thoughts, recollections, and stimulating conversations during the event.
A three-day commemorative event, under the theme “Celebrating 50 Years of Tsatsu Tsikata at the Ghana Bar – 1975 to 2025,” will be held from August 6-8, 2025, at the Accra International Conference Centre, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily.
The first day will focus on Mr. Tsikata’s legal career, including talks about his work in the corporate sector, military tribunals, courts, and even while he was imprisoned.
The discussion will be led by renowned attorneys and former students Thaddeus Sory and Tony Lithur.
On August 7, the spotlight will shift to Tsikata’s academic legacy. Former students such as Kwesi Quartey, Professor Martin Tsamenyi, and Christopher Quaye will share their experiences.
The evening will also feature a lecture by Professor Raymond Atuguba, outgoing Dean of the University of Ghana Law School, on “Challenges of Legal Education in Ghana.” The day’s proceedings will be chaired by Rt. Hon. Doe Adjaho, former Speaker of Parliament and a former student of Tsikata.
